186 fatalities on Irish roads this year: Drivers urged not to drink and drive

A mother who lost her son to a drunk driver in Castlemartyr, Co.Cork in 2009 has urged road users to think twice before they consider getting behind the wheel of a car while under the influence, reports Robert McNamara.

Christina Donnelly traveled from her home in Waterford to Castlemartyr on Christmas day to lay a wreath at the plaque on the road where her 24-year-old son Brendan died seven years ago.
